Mike, maxepisodes is supposed to use recording rule ID, and a very
quick perusal of the code supports that. Factors that could affect
the episode count are the recorded.preserve value and whether or not
an override rules was used. Anyway, this is one of a few issues I
need to look into, but probably won't have time to do so for a few
days. Aaron, if you can provide the specifics Mike asked for, that
would be very helpful.
